Did you see this in the news?
A socialworker, Amy Jandrisevitis, in New Berlin, Wisconsin came up with an idea to help children who have physical issues such as lack of a arm or leg, etc. She had used such therapy in her work and thought it would be nice for a child to have a doll with physical deformity like themselves to play with. "so kids can play in a world that looks like them." Amy has been doing this since 2015.

I think I have heard something of it. I think it's wonderful what people will do for others. I've heard of people with 3D printers designing and making things for the less fortunate. One man made a little chihuahua with only two legs.. He made it a wheel chair type thing.

@celticeagle So glad that there are good people in the world. I've always known it, but we don't often hear about it.

This reminds me of that short story of a mom who brought home a three-legged puppy for her son... This makes me really happy. Thanks for sharing.

We have a group of ladies who have been doing things like that for decades. It's great!

I bet they did. Having something that shows them they aren't alone is great.
